Health professionals are warning there's a huge blind spot in the Government's COVID-19 response plan.

An infectious diseases doctor says we need to urgently improve our data on community spread of the virus if we want to avoid ongoing lockdowns.

Otago University infectious diseases senior lecturer Dr Ayesha Verrall says drive-thru swabs isn't enough to build robust data on the actual spread of COVID-19.

OPINION: The Government is trying to throttle the bastard. By announcing a four-week nationwide lockdown, Jacinda Ardern is aiming to break the chain of community transition of Covid-19 as quickly as possible.The Government is doing this early before the number of community cases - currently only at two officially - gets out of hand. In a month the world will know that much more about coronavirus and how to contain it.
